OVERVIEW BANGLADESH AND CLIMATE CHANGE NUTRITIONAL CHALLENGES PRESENTED BY CLIMATE CHANGE CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT ON NUTRITION OF WOMEN WORLDFISH/PARTNER PROGRAMS OF WORK THAT ADDRESS THESE ISSUES  5 FISH SYSTEM APPROACHES  4 HORTICULTURE SYSTEM APPROCHES  PROMOTION OF DIET CHANGES CONCLUSIONS

CLIMATE CHANGE AND BANGLADESHBANGLADESH IS ONE OF THE MOST CLIMATE CHANGECHALLENGED COUNTRIES DUE TO IT PROXIMITY TO THE SEA,THE LOW LEVEL OF FARMLAND AND THE LARGE POPULATION OFPEOPLE LIVING IN SUCH AREAS INCREASING SALINITY IN THE SOUTH INCREASED SEVERITY OF CYCLONIC STORMS INCREASINGLY ERRATIC RAINFALL PATTERNS AND SEASONS INCREASED SEVERITY AND FREQUENCY OF FLOODS

NUTRITION AND CLIMATE CHANGEFOR THE POOR, THIS IS A DAILY STRUGGLE THAT IS COMPOUNDEDBY: INCREASING SALINITY AFFECTING CROP PRODUCTION, PARTICULARLY RICE, CROPS AND AQUACULTURE IN THE SOUTH LOSS OF CROPS TO SEVERE WEATHER EVENTS THREATENING SUSTAINABILITY OF FISHERIES RESOURCESACCESS TO FOOD, EITHER BY MEANS OF PRODUCTION ORPURCHASE, DETERMINES NUTRITION SECURITY

CLIMATE CHANGE AND WOMENWOMEN ARE THE CAREGIVERS AND PRIMARY SOURCE OF FAMILYNUTRITION ON A DAILY BASISTHEY ARE SYSTEMATICALLY CONSTRAINED IN THEIR PRIMARY FOODPROVISION ROLES BY: BEING THE LAST TO EAT IN THE FAMILY HAVING LOW FINANCIAL ACCESS AND CONTROL AT HOUSEHOLD LEVEL TO MAKE FOOD DECISIONS CONSTRAINED ABILITY TO TRAVEL OUTSIDE THE HOMESTEAD INEQUITABLE ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY
